lyrics

Concentration breaks,
Like a photo out of focus,
I can make out the shape
Slips away,
Then it's lost and gone,
And I'm moving on

But I'm tired now,
The head wants more
Than the heart will allow
Down and out,
On and on and

Day after day,
A thought never stays,
Alive in my head falls
Dead on the page

Words are painted fires that look like they burn,
While the real flames
Roar in the minds of the liars who wish they could learn
To trade
A hundred hollow lines
For the words they'll never find
So much faith in words

In this state,
Statements I've made, declarations to make
Hesitate,
Proud and withdrawn, I move along

Come around,
Back to the start for an ending somehow
Down and out,
On and on and

Day after day,
A thought never stays,
Alive in my head falls
Dead on the page

Words are painted fires that look like they burn,
While the real flames
Roar in the minds of the liars who wish they could learn
To trade
A hundred hollow lines
For the words they'll never find
So much faith

Day after day,
A thought never stays,
Alive in my head falls
Dead on the page

Words are painted fires that look like they burn,
While the real flames
Roar in the minds of the liars who wish they could learn
To trade
A hundred hollow lines
For the words they'll never find
So much faith
